the 5 k's, kesh, kangha, kirpan, kara, kachera.
a kirpan feels like a rough leather
The Kirpan is typically worn at the side, under the clothes.
every baptised sikh wears a kirpan. it is used for self defense
There is no fixed size for the kirpan. But it can be any size from a few inches to3 foot long.
The kirpan, in the Sikh religion, is usually worn on a cloth belt known as a gatra.
no it is illegal
A license would be a great idea, that way no one could fool around being a Sikh and wearing a kirpan. But so far, there is no such provision. Kirpan is a part of Sikhism. So they do not need a license or whatsoever. They are peaceful people in general.
Carrying a knife is not a mandated practice in Sikhism. Sikhism promotes values of compassion, equality, and self-defense when necessary, but the religion does not explicitly require followers to carry a knife.
